This is starting to look like a much more realistic goal. But this is still a huge disappointment.

So, here's my plan: start attending some of the WBB games. I don't know what to expect from them, so no expectations, no disappointments. I think Peterson (Petersen?) coming from a head coaching position, will show us why most fans want new hires to have head coaching experience.

Our preseason A.A. had more fouls than points. Someone forgot to tell Benford we heard the "we're going to play D" speech before (shanice), yet we can't defend the 3 to save our lives! Where is the coaching?

I don't even know where to start... We can't even beat a young ULL team that will probably finish somewhere in the middle of the standings, AND WE PLAYED THEM AT THE PIT!

We have a team built for the transition game and Benford is trying to make us a half court , grind it out type team. Tony Mitchell going from block to block trying to get open vs 2 , sometimes 3 defenders is not going to cut it.

This team is at its best when it's out in the open court & having fun. TB has taken the fun out and the players are frustrated. Our BB program is going down the drain. If Benford stays , half of our roster will probably transfer out

Agreed...and then most will probably flourish somewhere else...leaving us to think what could have been.

You get excited when a long-time assistant gets his shot, but sometimes you forget there maybe a reason they've been a long-time assistant.

Well, that's a good point, and we're starting to learn more about the downside to going down that road. I still want to look at (or read someone else's analysis) about this season's new coach records in the FBS, comparing the assistants vs. those with previous head coaching experience. I think some of the MAC schools that have done well this year and last were previous head coaches, but from FCS and D2 levels. But, there's just something you like about experience; Peterson (sp?) new WBB coach, doesn't have a great record so far, but I think he'll do great, based on his past record. An assistant, it just seems like you never know.

I don't know... I see an awful lot of grad assistants on our side of the bench drawing up plays and calling for study groups.

I think you figured out his diabolical plan. Make every one transfer, so he gets HIS players in and no one attacks him for pulling their schollys. Brilliant!

What a disaster, I hope things improve but tonight sure was not it. I don't care how misused Mitchell is, he should on mire talent be a positive factor, He was not tonight. In the players defense, I don't know how anyone can play with Benford's irrational substitution pattern.

ULL is not a good team and neither is UTA and both beat NT at home.

There were a few semi-bright spots, Jones played a very good game; maybe because he actually got a lot of playing time. I thought Patton also had his best game, not saying much; but a start. Franklin also was a positive factor but why on earth did the coaching staff think he could guard a 6'9 player. I guess they did it because Niko and Coleman can't guard anybody and they wanted to keep Mitchell out of foul trouble. This plan didn't work on any level and make the ULL player look like a lottery pick and could have been the major contributor to the loss.

I noticed a lot less people here than Wednesday, if this type play continued NT may be down to the attendance levels of early JJ.

Another nut kick. More students migrating behind us with the Mother F'N Eagles. Confrontations when you ask them to stop.

Don't worry. The students will be gone soon enough and you'll never have to hear foul words in the PIT again. What an ingenious plan by RV and that idiot Tony Benford. RUN OFF ALL THE STUDENTS WITH GARBAGE BASKETBALL AND YOU DON"T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CUSSING!!!

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      For those who don't remember, this is the guy who transferred out of Tulane to Duke. The guy will never have to work a day in his life. Now let the bidding wars truly begin. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/highest-paid-player-in-college-football-history-transfer-qb-darian-mensahs-duke-deal-is-sign-of-times/
